Academics and pseudo-academies delight in deconstructing even the most cherished of childhood delights, seemingly determined to
36、rob us【C1】_the pure joy of fantasy. Forget the super villain. For our superheroes, most【C2】_ (death)adversaries are the post-modern academics. For example, a book published in 2002 debates the science behind “ Superman, “ the worlds most famous【C3】fic_superhero: The Science of Superheroes by Lois Gr
37、esh and Robert Weinberg. According to Gresh and Weinberg, when superheroes were created, little or no attention was paid to the【C4】_(feasible)of their powers and how they could possibly interact with ordinary objects and people. In effect, their thesis appears to be that the science behind superhero
38、es is totally incorrect. Gresh and Weinberg seem to take great delight in debunking superheroes, Superman in particular, in their book, arguing with great effectiveness concerning how impossible it would be for Superman to ever be a【C5】_(real). They point out that the laws of physics are broken time
39、 and time again in the Superman story. It would be impossible for him, for example, to perform such stupendous feats of super strength, such as holding cars, trains, and even planes in the air. How, they ask, could he possibly【C6】st_perfectly balanced on Earth while moving a mass far greater than hi
40、s own over his head? However, is there really any value to be found in dissecting fantasy characters such as these? After all, the【C7】_(intend)of the fantasy is to entertain and automatically requires that the audience suspend their disbelief. When James Bond, Ethan Hunt, or any of the super spies,
41、perform astounding feats of an impossible physical nature we do not care, we simply enjoy.【C8】_would that matter to any child, or even adult, who simply enjoys the stories? Remember this is not educational material but purely entertainment. Why【C9】spo_the fun? Let Superman , Spiderman, Batman and al
42、l the other superheroes continue to bring joy and even inspiration to those who love them and let us leave science to deal【C10】_everyday life, which is so rarely quite as fascinating as the world of our favourite childhood heroes.46 【C1 】47 【C2 】48 【C3 】49 【C4 】50 【C5 】51 【C6 】52 【C7 】53 【C8 】54 【C9

Drift divers roll off their boats into strong tidal currents which shoot them rapidly down gullies and over reefs for a kilometer or more. Stopping is nigh impossiblelik

With one hand firmly gripping your partner, it is just possible to steady yourself and steer with your free hand, dodging the rocks that emerge ghost-like from the fog. This is underwater motorway madness, a crazy freedom. In these fast currents, plankton feeders em

Ascending and descending is like night flying: unable to see either surface or bottom, you depend on your depth gauge to measure progress. If there is a line to fo

Some, armed with navigation charts and comprehensive underwater toolkits strapped to their waists, become so weighed down with mementoes it is a wonder they manage to surface at all. Most, however, are happy simply to swim along hulls that sometimes stand 15 metres or more from
49、the sea floor, forming artificial reefs that attract a profusion of marine life. Most wrecks are just huge chunks of broken steel and many of the more intact or important ones are protected. Wrecks offer plenty of fascinating enclosed spaces, but only the foolhardy or the very experienced venture deep inside them. Sounds of breathing are ampli
